Kate Fairweather Designs and Custom Cabinetry
Architects & Building Designers in Williamsport.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars20 February 2018
“We first worked with Kate Fairweather on a bathroom remodeling project in our home. Her ability to envision the finished project and share her vision helped us all along the way. Now we're involved in a floor-to-ceiling kitchen remodel. Without Kate's expertise and gentle help, we would have given up long ago. Kate is a wonderful resource and takes every project to heart. I recommend her without a moment's hesitation.”

“Working with Bob and his staff to design my new house and guide me through the construction process was a great experience. I provided some rough plans; Bob presented several interesting variations for consideration, pointed out what was practical and what was not, and provided a very accurate estimate of building costs. There was no problem when I needed to put the project on hold. When it was time to put the project out for bid, he suggested that we include a firm he had noticed but had not worked with before; I did end up choosing them to build the house and that, too, worked out very well. His experience was evident throughout the process, from siting the house on the property and being familiar with period architectural styles, to monitoring the work while periodically visiting the construction site. He's easy to work with and I recommend him very highly.”

“We began working with Ted Strosser and Jason Clapp 5 years ago, working at our (slower) pace on the development of a program, design and construction plan for our home. Because we were living in another state, they helped us evaluate alternate builders and oversaw the (Gray Builders) contracting and construction process throughout the build. They were effective working with us virtually and at well-organized, face-to-face monthly meetings. Through the process, Ted and Jason were effective listeners, eliciting the real needs behind all of our Pinterest and HGTV ideas! Both were easygoing and quietly confident, which was particularly reassuring to first-time builders. They brought architectural expertise and their own experiences from residential, conservation and commercial work and materials. This translated into a highly functional and aesthetically appealing design. Ours is a one-of-a-kind home which consistently prompts compliments from those who see it. Working with Ted and Jason was the first, best decision we made with building our home.”

How do I find the best architect for my home design project?


It is best to hire a home architect or building designer who will be involved in all phases of the design process, from the initial concept to the completed construction. The architect is often the first person you will hire for your project. If necessary, they might also help you select and hire Williamsport, PA general contractors, which can include builders, engineers and landscape architects. Interior architects are also involved in negotiating contracts for all involved participants. It is for these reasons that it is extremely important for you to have a good relationship with the residential architect you hire. He or she can be the tie-breaking vote between you and the general contractor and can be your biggest advocate during the construction process.

As far as the process goes, the architecture firm that you choose will start with concept drawings and finish with construction drawings and documents. Some firms even design with 3D renderings and videos, but that should not be assumed. One of the most important duties of an architect is project management – that is, to serve as managers and supervise most aspects of construction, as well as facilitate communication between all other contractors.

It is very important to hire the right professional for the job. Remember that the most well-known or established architect or building designer might not provide the best architectural services for your needs. It all comes down to the individual project. Research and ask people whose work you like for recommendations. It's important to have an idea of the style of architecture you prefer, as well as the amount you would like to spend. Architects are natural problem solvers. They will assess the entire situation and help you to solve your problems too. Don't settle for a single company too early. Call and interview a few. Make sure that you feel like your personalities will mesh well and that you like their professional perspective.

Questions to ask prospective architects and building designers in Williamsport, PA:


  • What is your fee structure?
  • What does the cost include?

  • your vision.)
  • Will you help with hiring general contractors and renovation contractors?
